I had backed off on my Cassel hate in the second half of the season because he actually started to play with a modicum of competence. But I never stopped being wary of him, because he was playing well against shitty, shitty ****ing teams.

But today is proof positive that Cassel is NOT the answer. He will NOT be a franchise quarterback. He simply doesn't have the ability or the intelligence that is required. He never really progressed this season; he just managed to not shit himself against the NFC West.

Rotoworld: After breaking down Matt Flynn's NFL game tape, ESPN's Ron Jaworski came away discouraged by his arm strength and believes the Raiders will have to "manipulate" Flynn with "pass concepts and playcalling."

Flynn is No. 32 in Jaws' 2013 Quarterback Countdown. "The more throws I watched, the more his arm strength limitations were evident," Jaworski said. "... In fact, I was concerned that his few deep balls lost energy at the back end. They had a tendency to die." Jaws suggested Flynn "needs" an effective play-action passing game to be successful, which isn't dissimilar from Matt Cassel. We don't believe Flynn will last more than eight starts in Oakland.

I'm quite content with cassel as backup actually. With him, we know what we get. It's not like TJ or McNabb, where we hope he can play well, or live up to the potential. We know Cassel isn't a superstar, but he's also proven to be effecient if he has a receiver to throw to. He doesn't make alot of bad turnovers, and can move the ball. That's all this offense needs. If Ponder can't go, I have no problem giving it over to Cassel

I find it funny these people think Cassel is the answer to anything but the water boy.
